tide is a UK wide network of carers and former carers of people with dementia, hosted by the Life Story Network. Our mission is to be the voice, friend and future of all carers and former carers of people with dementia. tide enables carers and former carers to use have a powerful collective voice, using their lived experience to raise awareness and respect of their unique needs and rights to influence practice, policy and research at all levels.

In collaboration with carers & former carers tide has established a Development Programme to empower and equip those carers and former carers who want to be actively involved with the knowledge, skills and confidence to bring about positive change. This development programme will be running across the Greater Manchester region until March 2018.
